I'd like a free way to get the housing behefits

[CouchPass]

As a free player who does plat offers to make meager plat for luck kits and elixirs, I am already struggling against players who pay. That's perfectly fine though, I can still upgrade my gear, pvp, and buy arcanes. I'm by no means poor, but I feel as if I am well-of, even compared to players who play. But with this new update coming out, what the heck will happen to f2p players? For 1k plat, I get 200 mana, 200 health, and 2 damage. As long as their house is in good standing.

STS I understand, you need to make money too, but is this really necessary? I can at least live without the stamps or upkeep, I barely use my house. Now, as a pvp player, I will be up against people with 200 more health and mana than me?? I have no way of buying a tavern, I'm basically placed in a tough position here... I would really like a questline or something I could do to gain buffs too. Either I spend 1k plat, or everyone gets a Permanent buff, in PvP.

So you think we should have to spend money but you guys should be able to do a quest and get what we would spend close to 100$ on ....if you want it buy some plat this is getting ridiculous

Any time Power gets introduced to the game there is controversy. We are working on the balance between Power, Vanity, and Upkeep for Housing 2.0, and would like to keep the conversations consolidated here: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?352733-Housing-2-0-Guide
